    Perfect mix of heartwarming, funny, emotional, hot, social commentary and educational without trying. Denzel and Sarita are SO FUCKING charming it should be illegal.  Cut to me sitting in the theater with the biggest grin like 😁😊 while they are grinning at each other on screen .

    You will never find a film that hits that specific sad-and-quiet-British-repressed-love aesthetic better. Will always turn to this film to be Properly sad. Andrew is so good in this film as well, his portrayal innocent hope turned into realized doom is so masterful. Absolutely love the quiet, pensive Carey act in this as well. Will never not think Ruth is a bitch so I can't quite compliment Keira.

    Also read a great review on the book, which helped me look at the film through the lens of colonialism and racism in a new way: electricliterature.com/kazuo-ishiguros-never-let-me-go-is-a-masterpiece-of-racial-metaphor/

    didn't realize this was more psychological thriller than biopic, but honestly it was so much more interesting because of it. Loved it visually, musically, conceptually. I honestly forgot it was KStew multiple times which, for an actress so recognizable, is wild. And the Anne Boleyn cameo!!! I truly thought that Anne Marie Tendler was in the film for a hot sec
